24..bought at 22.

still love it but its so hard not to upgrade with these prices!

when i was buying my first car, a 74 beetle in the used section at the local chevy dealer, i saw a silver 00 coupe brand new on the showroom floor. as i was signing papers for the volks, i kept looking back and knew someday i would buy that exact car setup.

took almost 7 years and 16 vehicles (yeah, 16.. i know.)

yes.. you could refer to it as my "dream car"

You're never too young or too old to love Corvettes!!

I've always loved Corvettes as a kid but I've had Camaro's. I finally got my Vette at 41.
You just gotta have a Vette at least once in your lifetime!
